The second pineapple rug is finished!
Today I've used it, to sit on as a soft garden bench cushion. From the first floor I saw this bright summer scene, went down for the camera, to share it with you and just now I found out the pineapple is upside down (haha, however still cool)

The first rug I made some months ago and it was not my intention to sell it.
A sweet blog follower from Autralia send me an e-mail, she would like to buy it because the rug would make the perfect wedding gift for her friends (and she couldn't crochet at all). I missed my huge pineapple the minute it was shipped and decided to make another one. It's quite a cool project and it doesn't take so much time to make it.

Do you feel like freshen up your place (or garden) with a pineapple rug?
You can find the PINEAPPLE PATTERN in my E T S Y shop.

The pear jar is a gift from my sweetheart.
He bought the pear for me last Saturday at Lammie's Saturday shop in Dordrecht. (he knows what i like)
The vintage apple mirror is from Marseille.
The tile is a souvenir from Sevilla, we bought it in a antique shop years ago.

We celebrated the longest day with a tiny midsummer dinner party for friends.

We were hoping for a warm summer evening with a dinner in the garden, but it rained most of the day, so we enjoyed the midsummer party in our kitchen.
The chef cooked a great summer meal and we enjoyed the longest day with a lovely bunch of people.

I'm planning to make a new cardigan for the upcoming summer evenings.
It's so lovely to sit outside in the garden during these long June days. After sunset it sometimes is a bit chilly, but with a cardigan it's warm enough to sit on the garden bench a little longer. This weekend will be the longest day and we are hoping for warm and sunny days. We've planned a midsummer garden dinner with friends, to celebrate life!

Last couple of weeks I received lots of mails about the Cool Crochet workshop in Marrakech in October. The workshop is already fully booked, but I can promise you there will be new workshops in Marrakech in 2016. As soon as I know more about the exact dates (April and October) I will let you through my blog.

Years ago i made a handmade stool with legs of scrapwood and because it needed a finishing touch and i designed a woolen cover of crochet, the first wood & wool stool was born. That explains the name of my blog, i started in 2009. My blog is a diary about my life, my family, work, photography, travels, home, inspiration, new designs and the good things in life.
